R Khan to K Pollard, Flatter on off, Pollard keeps it out.
Rashid Khan is back on.

Strategic break has been signaled. What an exciting 8.5 overs this has been. We have had runs, dropped catches and wickets. Mumbai did lose their skipper early but then Ishan Kishan and Evin Lewis played their shots. But a double-wicket over by Kaul and another breakthrough just before the strategic break has seen them now being put on the back foot.
Al Hasan to K Pandya, OUT! Leading edge and taken! Shakib has the last laugh. He once again bowls it slower, brings all his experience into play. Pandya looks to nudge it on the leg side and take two like he did on the first two balls. This time though he closes the bat face a touch early and gets a leading edge which lobs towards Kane Williamson who takes a very easy catch at covers. Another big wicket for Hyderabad as Pandya was looking really good out there. Mumbai in a spot of bother now.
Al Hasan to K Pandya, FOUR! This is clever from Pandya! He is playing with the bowler's mind. He brings out the reverse sweep and connects well. It goes fine through the off side and the ball goes into the third man fence. This is turning out to be an expensive over.
Al Hasan to K Pandya, FOUR! Make that nine from the first three. This is a beautiful cricketing short! Shakib tosses it up on off, a little too full and this is easy for Pandya. He drives it through covers and the ball races away to the fence.
Al Hasan to K Pandya, This is clever batting! Hasan bowls this slower on middle, Pandya plays it with soft hands towards mid-wicket and takes two. 5 from the first two balls and they have not tried anything fancy, just smart batting.

S Kaul to E Lewis, OUT! TIMBER! The last ball of the Powerplay provides a wicket. The dangerous Lewis is walking back now. What an over this from Kaul, two wickets and he now has brought Hyderabad right on top. Once again it is the knuckle ball on off, Lewis goes for the heave across the line without picking the variation and pays a big price for it. He misses to see his off stump getting rattled. An excellent bowling change by Williamson and because of the two wickets in this over, Hyderabad will be the happier of the two sides after the Powerplay as Mumbai are 54 for 3.
S Kaul to E Lewis, An excellent attempt there by Williamson. Lewis once again tries to go big but this time mistimes it in the air towards long off. Williamson from mid off runs behind and tries to get to it with a dive but can't. Two taken from the batsmen.
S Kaul to E Lewis, FOUR! BRUTE! Lewis has hit with all his might. A wicket has just fallen but Lewis will continue playing his shots. A full ball right in the zone of Lewis. He hammers it past mid off for a boundary.
S Kaul to E Lewis, The batsman works it down the leg side.
Suryakumar Yadav is the next man in.
S Kaul to I Kishan, OUT! This time too the drop catch has not cost a lot as Kaul strikes off his second ball. Kishan's fidgety stay out there comes to an end. He was playing too many shots and that has brought his downfall. Kaul angles it across the batsman as he lands this one outside off. Kishan tries to go big but gets a top edge towards third man where Pathan takes it very low. He then signals as he did not sight the ball. A good catch by him in the end. A much-needed wicket for Hyderabad, can they now build on this?

R Khan to I Kishan, DROPPED AGAIN! Hyderabad are in no mood to catch the ball today. Kishan with a reprieve this time. He has looked fidgety since the time he has come to the crease and this time too he is in a hurry. He shimmies down the track and tries to hit it across the line. He gets a top edge which lobs towards mid off. Sandeep Sharma there runs backwards, tries to take it reverse cup but drops it. They needed this wicket, that should have been taken as the two are going bonkers.
R Khan to I Kishan, FOUR LEG BYES! A huge appeal but pitched outside leg. Khan bowls the wrong 'un! Kishan goes for the reverse sweep but misses to get hit on the pads. The ball goes between the keeper and the slip for a boundary.
R Khan to I Kishan, The ball strikes the batsman very low on the pads
